Lord Harrington on the Attempt to Dis.

LONDON. April 9.-Lord Harrington
has written the following letter to the
UniOnists, meeting:
1T is Of great importance that some
answer should he given to the agitation
which is being permitted against the
measures necessary to the maintenance
of order i'm Ireland. Doubtless it is
greatly to he regretted that the Govern
ment is compelled again to resort to CO.
ersive measures. although Liberal states
men have not shrunk on former
occasions from proposing in similar
legislation of equal IL
not greater severity. Ii is my firm
that the disorder which COM
PEELED the Government to resort To this
policy is not spontaneous and is not
mainly caused by unredressed grivances.
1t is the result of the determination of
some leaders of the Irish people to prove
that the Government of Ireland by a
parliament of the United Kingdom is im-
possible, and an attempt is being made
to discredit both remedial and repressive
legislation. In my Judgment this at
tempt ought to he firmly resisted by the

Was There "a Deal, After All"

BALTIMORE, MD, April 9.-There is n
growing conviction here that there has
been no deal nor will there he any seri-
ous movement to divert control of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to any syndi-
cate nor to- any other railroad combina-
tion. The general belief is that Presi-
dent Garrett has purchased all the stock
offered and has now, with two or three
holders of considerable stock. the entire
control. So general is this belief that the
matter is no more discussed. President
Garrett has received a letter from gen
tleman in London expressing regret that
any movement for a transfer of the road
has been made, rs the Baltimore & Ohio
has always been one of the few roads
that was not subject To stock iobbing OPP
erations. With regard to the means to-
build from Philadelphia to'New York.

Mr. BIaine's Condition.

FIT GIBSON, IND. TER, April 9.-Mr.
Blaine was suffering from a severe cold
Sunday evening last when he arrived at
Gibson Station. A government ambu-
lance met the party at the station, but
only the ladies of the party could be
taken to the post. The next Monday an
ambulance returned for Mr.. Blaine. He
was able to sit up in the conveyance, but
looked pale and thin. On reaching the
post, he went to the residence of Col. j.
j. Coppinger and had not been out of the
house since. DIR. Charles p. Berne,
post surgeon. referred all que stions
to Col. Coppinger. That gentleman
had little to say as he did not wish to
create any unnecessary alarm. He said
last night: Mr.. Blaine is suffering
from heavy cold, accompanied by re-
mittent fever, and was quite sick, but to-
night has favorable pulse" Col. Cop
penger repeated that Mr.. Blaine was
quite sick. The whole party expects to-
leave for the North this morning. The
soldiers detailed To set up with Blaine
last night regard him quite sick. but
could not say whether his symptoms
We're alarming or not.

He Calls Attention tn the Meeting In
Hyde Park. Next Monday.
LONDON, April 9.-The anti-CoerciOn
meeting to be held in Hyde Park. Mon
day. promises to be the biggest outdoor
political meeting ever held i'm London.
Mr.. Gladstone, to-day. issued to the
miners in the North of England. the ma
jOrity of whom are enthusiastic follow
ers of him, the following letter, which
amounts to a manifrstO:
Il cannot refrain from calling your
attention to a meeting which is to be
held in Hyde Park. next Monday, and to
which, l understand. tens of thousands
of wOrkingmen of London intend
generously to devote their holi
day. If ever there was a time when
it was to the interest of the English
wOrkingmen to bethink himself. this is
the time. II is the first time when the
Coercion bill. if passed. is to be passed by
England's vote alone against the voices
of Scotland. Ireland and Wales. Ii is
the first time when such a bill will
have been passed under the sanction
of the hOuseholders at large who
Were never enfranchised before the
last elections, i'm 1885 and 1896. 1t is the
first time that coercion has been proposed
without any attempt by the Ministry to
show what we know they cannot show
a state of exceptional and fragrant or
growing crime. If England is to coerce
Ireland for crime. Ireland can reply that.
relatively to her population. she has less
crime than England.
In my opinion reflection upon the bill
is even more needed by England than by
Ireland. For Ireland it is a question of
suffering. and she knows how to suffer.
For England it is a question of shame
and dishOnOr, and to cast away shame
and dishonOr is the first business of
great nation. In 1875, a meeting of
London wOrkingmen first gave effectual
force to the movement on Bulgaria,
which brought about the election of 1880.
May the meeting of Monday next ring
the death knell of the worst. the most
Insulting and most causeless coercion bill
ever submitted to Parliament.
